Understanding 9/11The Getting of Wisdom
Audio With External Links Item Preview
Librivox recording of The Getting of Wisdom, by Henry Handel Richardson.
The Getting of Wisdom tells the story of Laura Rambotham, a 12-year-old girl who is just starting at her boarding school. This is based on Henry Handel Richardson’s experiences of her own school, the Prebysterian Ladies College in central Melbourne. The story goes through her friends and enemies and all the life of a boarding school in early 20th century Australia, and all the subjects and learning too. Laura learns a lot but her education does not satisfy her, and her social life is thrown upon her as very different from her peers.
(Summary by Bronwyn Kate)
